banjo bolts.

If you took the spring pack apart, it will take a couple miles to resettle to its usual height. Unless the aftermarket shocks you installed really are binding.
 
Tube shocks were not original equipment for a '41 pickup, so your shocks MAY be an incorrect length for your application. In any case, a shock should never play a role in supporting the weight of the car, that's the job of the spring set.
Is your 1" raised opinion is based on the gap between wheel and wheel well, or in comparison to the height without those tube shocks?
